The village chief was ecstatic. With an investment of 100 million yuan, if each household received a share, they could each receive hundreds of thousands of yuan.
However, he has a longer-term future.
A few days later, people from the Water Resources Bureau were invited here to test the water quality.
For initial testing, a portable spectrometer is sufficient.
As for the amount of algae in the water, we'll have to take it back for detailed analysis to find out.
As soon as the inspection team arrived at the lake, they smelled an unpleasant odor.
They followed the scent and found a dead bird in the water.
The village chief hurriedly explained:
“Some children are playful and often throw dead birds into the lake.”
Experts issued a serious warning: "We must not throw bodies into the water anymore. It will pollute the water source."
No sooner had I finished speaking than the detector started alarming, indicating that the amount of chloride ions in the water exceeded the standard.
Generally speaking, such open-air water sources should not have such a high level of chloride ions. If the water quality is like this, then nothing can be done with it.
Despite his anger, the village chief promised to investigate the source of the pollution.
Just as he was about to leave, he finally caught the culprit.
It turned out that Gao Xiaolong was pouring bleach into the water.
"Where's your sister? Why didn't she keep an eye on you?" The village chief stormed over angrily.
Gao Xiaolong was an idiot and couldn't possibly answer her; he could only smile foolishly.
“Village chief, look how noisy my brother is, I’ll take him home right now.”
Gao Xiaolan pretended to be calm.
What could he say? He couldn't possibly argue with a fool.
He had to trouble the inspection team to take water samples at another location.
Soon, the test results came back: the water quality was good, and it was suitable for growing pearls.
Pearl farming requires very high water quality and has a long cycle, making it not a good investment project.
But I heard that pearl farmers along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have caught a good wave, and the price of pearls has soared, almost catching up with the price of gold.
The village chief's blueprint was also designed, with the village taking the lead in pearl farming, while the island was developed and the grassland by the lake was leveled to create a playground.
The development of the scenic area will cost approximately ten million.
The initial investment for pearl farming is 20 million yuan.
The remaining money will be used by the village to find construction teams to build some guesthouses.
These guesthouses can be rented to villagers free of charge for five years.
It seems the village chief is very determined to develop the scenic resort area.
Jiang Ning called Luo Guangming and asked him to transfer 100 million yuan to the township, and also sent a special person to take charge of the project there.
With the investment secured, the villagers spontaneously held a banquet and invited Jiang Ning to dinner.
Today at this house, tomorrow at that house, as long as Jiang Ning stays in the village for a day, she is treated as an honored guest.
Zhao Ergou was smoking with the village chief, his tone carrying a meaningful undertone.
"You've truly learned from me. Back then, I only had my happy life today because I clung to Brother Chen's coattails."
His life has been smooth sailing; he has never had to worry about money.
The village chief chuckled, "Chairman Jiang's connections are much stronger than the ones you used to cling to."
He also decided to select a separate site in the village to build a new house for Zhao Ergou, and as for Lin Chen's old house, he would clean it up and turn it into a memorial hall.
When Liu Fang heard that Jiang Ning was going to invest in building a scenic resort in his hometown, she went to the village chief to discuss the cooperation with her hometown village.
"Could you let people from my hometown get involved in your pearl farming project? There's strength in numbers!"
The village chief hesitated for a moment, but Jiang Ning, upon hearing this, expressed her agreement.
"We're leading everyone to prosperity. Other villages can join if they want, no matter how big the scale. It also prevents one village from becoming too wealthy and being envied by other villages, which could lead to tragedies."
Liu Fang thanked Jiang Ning profusely and went back to her parents' home that same day to tell them about it.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Luo Tiegang's ex-wife, Yu Meili, as soon as she returned to her parents' home.
Yu Meili is now incredibly old, with gray hair and a withered face. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was over seventy.
When she saw Liu Fang, she shamelessly clung to her, begging her for some money.
"Please give me some money for Tiger's sake, my family is really starving."
After Yu Meili stole Liu Fang's husband, she was initially quite pleased with herself.
After giving birth to three daughters in a row, her mother-in-law and husband became disgusted with her, and she could no longer be proud of herself.
The mother-in-law favored sons over daughters, so naturally she wanted a grandson.
Her husband also complained that she couldn't give birth to a son.
Because of this, her husband started drinking and carousing outside. In the early 1990s, as people's minds gradually opened up and more and more girls were engaged in prostitution, he contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
In the end, he did not die from venereal disease, but rather from drowning after falling into the water while drunk.
At this time, Yu Meili became pregnant again.
She eventually gave birth to a boy.
The whole family was very happy, and they gave all the good food and toys to their son, while they would beat and scold their daughter.
In order to raise her children, she turned to prostitution.
But in the end, the three daughters grew up, married and moved away, and never returned to their parents' home. The only son who stayed at home was spoiled from a young age, knew nothing, did not study well, and was just a useless person with all four limbs intact.
She couldn't be more envious of Liu Fang. Her children were filial, and she had a job. In particular, her ex-husband was now a great earner, managing tens of millions of yuan in assets.
She's just asking her for some pocket money, she shouldn't refuse, right?
Liu Fang used to give Hu Zi a few dozen yuan out of respect for him, and because Hu Zi was so shameless, she would give him a few dozen yuan as a way of getting rid of him.
Unexpectedly, she went too far. Every time she went back to her parents' home, she would come looking for her as if she had smelled something.
“She doesn’t only come when you come back; she comes every day. There’s something wrong with her.”
Her older brother told her.
Liu Fang hadn't heard about this before. When she asked, she learned that her son had been stabbed to death in a fight.
She was so anxious that she went mad. She would wander around outside during the day and go home at night. People would give her some food out of pity, but money was useless to her because she no longer recognized it.
Looking at her like this, Liu Fang shook her head. If only she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place!
If she had behaved herself, she would be a wealthy woman by now.
The resort project in Chayuan Village has attracted more and more villages in the vicinity to join in.
As the person in charge of the overall project, the village chief is extremely busy every day.
Jiang Ning and Lin Chen, on the other hand, were quite content with their lives, spending their days fishing and basking in the sun, living a carefree and comfortable existence.
However, just a few days later, a large convoy drove into the village from outside, completely blocking the roads.
They were leaders at various levels in the county. Hearing that Jiang Ning had come, they came to pay him a visit.
